williamsmith, yes, I do believe we would still have it. There are now, and will always be, people whose drive in life is not to have things, but to have control. They don't care that they can do it legally. They care about making money off of someone else doing…

I am kind of tired of hearing the same old misogynistic rants here. Little girls don't need to be hooking. The ones sticking up for it are probably the same ones who would partake in the activity...

I don't think the word itself would be quite so racist if the tone and inflection of "you're just a gaijin" wasn't there. I'm not an idiot (well, I don't consider myself one) and I can tell when someone is using the term as in just describing a foreign born…

Zen, if you are smart, yes, you will check it. That's the problem with society. No one wants to take personal responsibility. They just want to be able to say, it wasn't my fault, so and so told me it was okay. By the way, which countries are those? I…

Zen, are you completely naive? If you take a girl home from a club that has a rule of no one under the 18 in the club, and you take a girl home that is underage, you get busted. Ignorance is not an excuse. The police will tell you the…

You know what Rjd, you're right. It isn't all Japanese that are saying this. What I am upset about, is that she is throwing around all these BS numbers as if they are fact. 80% PTSD rate? 1 in 3 women will be raped? Come on man. These guys come…

Yeah Zen, and back in the day beating your wife was looked at as "keeping them in line". What's your point? My point is that society evolves and moves forward, not look back at what we used to be able to do.

Come on, if she wanted to say the Iraq war was such a ploy to get more whatever, just come out and say it. Don't beat around the bush (pun intended). And the last few? Enlighten me. Which last few were? I can only think of one, led by a…
